A desirable feature of the approach is that, during the transmission of logic state, the transmit node itself should not significantly change its quantum state; this is successfully validated through simulations. (C) 2011 American Institute of Physics. [doi:10.1063/1.3596522]“
“Objective. The red complex bacteria (Porphyromonas gingivalis, Tannerella forsythia, and Treponema denticola) INCB024360 have been implicated,
either singly or in combination, in the development of various forms of periodontal diseases. The aim of this study was to investigate the presence of “”red complex”" in acute periradicular abscesses by real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method.
Study design. Microbial samples were collected by aspiration from 32 cases SBE-β-CD inhibitor diagnosed as acute periradicular abscess. DNA was extracted from the samples by using a QIAamp DNA mini-kit and analyzed with real-time PCR.
Results. At least 1 member of the red complex was found in 84% of the cases. In general T. denticola, P. gingivalis, and T. forsythia were detected in 65.6%, 43.7%, and 40.6% of the cases, respectively. Red complex
was detected in 15.6% of samples taken from acute periradicular abscesses.
Conclusions. Our findings suggest that “”red complex”" can participate in the pathogenesis of acute periradicular abscesses. (Oral Surg Oral Med Oral Pathol Oral Radiol Endod 2010; 110: 670-674)”
“A number of studies have pointed to the association of BDNF (brain-derived neurotrophic factor) and DARPP-32 (dopamine- and cAMP-regulated phosphoprotein,
32 kDa) with schizophrenia. The purpose of this study was to determine whether these two genes are involved in the pathogenesis of schizophrenia in the Malay population. Two single nucleotide polymorphisms Val66Met of BDNF, -2036C>G and g. 1238delG of DARPP-32 were genotyped in the Malay population in 200 patients with schizophrenia and 256 healthy controls. Analysis of allele and genotype frequencies in these two groups revealed no significant association VS-6063 ic50 of BDNF or DARPP-32 polymorphisms with schizophrenia in Malays. This is the first such association study in the Malay population.”
“A complete study is given in this paper on the structural properties of Ba(Sr,Ti)O-3 (BST) thin films which present various preferred orientations: (111) and (001) fiber and epitaxial textures. The films are deposited in situ at 800 degrees C by sputtering on Si/SiO2/TiOx/Pt substrates and the orientation is controlled by monitoring the concentration of O-2 in the reactive plasma or by prior deposition of a very thin TiOx buffer layer between BST films and substrates. The epitaxial films are obtained on (001)-alpha-Al2O3 substrates covered with TiOx buffer layers.
